Good morning & happy FriYAY!! 💗 In all honesty I was supposed to post this #tbt pic yesterday, as REALLY I’m dreaming of a tan👙 , some sunshine ☀️& a break 😴 ...but I’m right now doing that nursing school hustle 👩🏻‍⚕️ & know I can’t do everything. 🙃 Learning to say no in different parts of my life as well is kind of hard for me! Even saying no to the fun things! Anyone else agree? 🙋🏻‍♀️ But I’m going to study hard & run hard today with some #selfcare scheduled in tonight! What are your weekend plans?? #tiuloveyourbody#friYAY

There’s nothing I love more than experimenting with a new kitchen gadget! Enter: Donut baking mold 🍩 and these Lemon Poppyseed Donuts 🍋
I’m still working on the recipe but I’ll share soon! 😋
If you’re interested, I searched donut mold on amazon! Mine is silicon and makes 9 donuts and was around $14

Patiently waiting for Spring. My self care is the difference between $7 polish and $720 to secure my bag over the course of a year. $30 x every two weeks is $60. $60 x a year is $720. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good mani & pedi (every now and then), but I love math too. 💋

The anxious mind = overestimate danger + underestimate ability to cope
Feeling anxious? Ask yourself these questions:
• what am I reacting to?
• what is it that I think is going to happen here?
• is what I’m thinking a fact or an opinion?
• what’s the (and best) that could happen? What’s the most likely outcome to happen?
• am I blowing things out of proportion?
• how important is this really? How important will it be in 6 months?
• when I felt like this before? How did I manage it to get through it?
• am I thinking I can predict the future?
• am I mind-reading what others might be thinking?
• what’s another way of looking at this?
• what advise would I give someone else in this situation?

You're not everyone!
I have been having something weigh on my heavily lately. I do not know the perceived vision you have about me and what I may or may not do. I however feel like I have protrayed a level that is not realistic to my current abilities and reality. I offer snapshots into my days and am sharing more and more. I need this for myself really. I have some amazing "tools" to help get me further in my health journey. I have the desire. But not fully the ability I wish. I have to let my reality sink a bit in more because my pushing things for the sake of wanting to feel or protray as normal and capable as possible is well....tiring and painful and working against me. It simply is biting me in the ass! And just leaves me down for days and feelin a lying fool. I have a great day and I jump and push..share proudly and then the next on my back and lost. That is far worse than scaling things back and changing things up to truly work within the realms of my life and my body. I continue to fight the mental battle as well as the physical feeling and seeing of progression in my body. I am doing more harm then good. My body is pleading me to listen to her and be gentle. I am working to better understand #mylimits and #mycapabilities - to actually listen to my own advice perhaps and what knowledge I have learned since hearing Lipedema and Dercums. I am capable but not like I once was. I have #strength but maybe not in the areas I once did. I cannot let shame in...My body has not been happy with me. I want to jump and run and move quick but its just not that way. It hasn't allowed me to be as I want for awhile. My truth. I have been hyper focused on what strength and abilty I feel I am losing. I need to remember #whaticando and all the ways I can still be... I will move my body gently and mindful. I will nourish my body and soul with care. I will love myself despite my restrictions and aim to always end the day proudly.

@shaunt got me early today with “there is no finish line”. This sentence gave me all the feels. I have lived my whole life striving for one finish line after an other and a few years ago I ran out of finish lines to chase. Basically I lost all purpose and have felt stuck and lost ever since. I’m so grateful to this program #transform20 and #mindsetreset for helping me flip my inner voice and realize my life wasn’t over. Today’s workout was #shaunathon and I rocked all 60mins while in a tiny hotel room because each day matters and every bit of effort brings change. This program ends tomorrow. But the journey is just beginning. #momoffour#selfcare#workout#doitanyway

February 22
God’s will, or mine? “We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.” Step Ten ––––=–––– In Narcotics Anonymous, we’ve found that the more we live in harmony with our Higher Power’s will for us, the greater the harmony in our lives. We use the Tenth Step to help us maintain that harmony. On a daily basis, we take time to look at our behavior. Some of us measure each action with a very simple question: “God’s will, or mine?” In many cases, we find that our actions have been in tune with our Higher Power’s will for us, and we in turn have been in tune with the world around us. In some cases, however, we will discover inconsistencies between our behavior and our values. We’ve been acting on our own will, not God’s, and the result has been dissonance in our lives.
When we discover such inconsistencies, we admit we’ve been wrong and take corrective action. With greater awareness of what we believe God’s will for us to be in such situations, we are less likely to repeat those actions. And we are more likely to live in greater concord with our Higher Power’s will for us and with the world around us. ––––=–––– Just for today: I wish to live in harmony with my world. Today, I will examine my actions, asking, “God’s will, or mine?”

FEAR IS INEVITABLE, it’s what we do with it that matters.
I’ll admit, I’m the queen of backing out of things because my fear takes over. It takes some serious self-talk to step out of my own way. This has been happening a lot more for me recently as I’m starting to understand what being an independent artist and creator is all about. It’s a lot of making things happen for myself. A lot of meeting new people and taking risks and doing unfamiliar things. I love it, but I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t occasionally turn something down because it took me out of my comfort zone. That is something I’m really working on. Moving outward and upward is going to be uncomfortable. There’s really no way around it. It’s about learning to DO IT ANYWAYS. Learning to cope with the feeling and push past it, because what’s on the other side is always, always worth it ⚡️
